Films[]

Sleepaway Camp (1983)[]

Artie watched the young campers arriving at the start of the summer, leering at them to Ben and bragging of what he'd like to do to them. When Ronnie brought Angela Baker to the kitchen for something to eat, Artie brought her in the back room and started unbuckling his pants, obviously preparing to rape the teenage girl. This makes him one of the antagonists. However, he heard the door open and quickly redid his belt, but Ricky Thomas caught him red handed and intervene. Artie became angered and threatened Ricky not to tell anybody before he and Angela escaped. Soon afterwards, Angela got her revenge by pulling a chair out from under him while he was boiling corn, pouring the vat over his face and hands and walked out the door. Ben found him screaming, and the paramedics soon arrived to take him away. The doctor who arrived told Mel Kostic that Artie would be in severe pain for quite some time.

Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988)[]

Phoebe mentioned Angela boiling Artie when she told the boy campers about the Camp Arawak murder spree 5 years before.

Character[]

Artie is a sexual predator. His desire for Angela is the first sexualization of her in the film, paving the way for Paul to become her knight in shining armor, a stark contrast to Artie. He is also a minor antagonist in the film.

Behind the Scenes[]

Artie is last seen screaming on his way to the hospital. Though the attending doctor never said that his life was in danger, it is officially unknown whether or not he survived his severe burns. While Angela's murder spree is mentioned in the following sequels, Artie surviving is never brought up. When Phoebe goes through a list of the murders, she states that he was boiled, perhaps indicating that he died from trauma.

Artie's character is mirrored in Mickey, from Return to Sleepaway Camp, a cook who has an altercation with the protagonist, and is then scalded alive by Angela for it.
